Going overboard - treating completion fluids

An oil company had employed CETCO Oilfield Services to treat their well flow back fluids on several occasions. Since our highly specialized equipment and personnel had proven successful time and time again, when the oil company completed two more wells, they once more turned to CETCO Oilfield Services to treat the completion fluids.

The two wells produced 2,790 BBL of completion fluids, which CETCO Oilfield Services treated, discharging the clean water directly into the Gulf of Mexico. The data in Chart 1 is from the completion fluids treatment project and is typical of what CETCO Oilfield Services can achieve.

CETCO Oilfield Services received fluids from the structure’s test separator. The fluids were routed into CETCO’s 120 BBL Sparging Separation Tank for initial treatment. Specialists then pumped the fluids from the separation tank to CETCO’s RFV 2000 filtration skid containing radial flow canisters filled with CETCO Oilfield Services’ patented CrudeSorb® media. Static sheen tests were conducted throughout the project, and the treated water continuously passed the tests. Overboard samples tested by an independent lab were also performed on the treated water and all readings were well below the discharge criteria. The clean water was then discharged directly into the Gulf of Mexico from CETCO’s equipment.

The classical field of neuroscience entails biological or psychological investigation of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and the systemic network of sensory nerve cells called neurons.1 Traditionally, this field comprised of purely biological studies but has since flourished into an interdisciplinary sphere addressing the developmental, physiological, pathological and psychological aspects of the nervous system.
Due to the diverse yet interconnected nature of this field, it...

Sanitary pumps involve the delivery of all human contact products such as pharmaceuticals, dairy products, beverages, food products, cosmetics, food additives, fine chemicals and the like. There are four types of sanitary, centrifugal, volumetric, jet and air pumps. Centrifugal pumps apply centrifugal force to create velocity, using a rotating wheel to increase speed and push fluid through the outlet valve.
From the point of view of the pump material, the sanitary pump must be 316L stainless steel. The pump...

Chemical and biomedical researchers use the programmable syringe pumps for infusing and withdrawing small amounts of fluid. It helps to mix, separate, and process microfluidics in high precision experiments. Further, it reduces error in biomedical and chemical experiments by providing better infusion control to researchers. The programming ability of syringe pumps help researchers to precisely control and administer experiments based on predetermined control parameters. The programmability feature has advanced...

A syringe pump is a type of infusion pump originally developed to help administer drugs to patients in a controlled manner. Early attempts to construct infusion pumps were made in the 19th century. However, the first infusion device was introduced in the 1950s to be used in chemotherapy. In the 1970s, the development of ambulatory infusion technology enabled the pumps to be used in research; mainly to deliver drugs to ambulatory animals. During the same period Dean Kamen invented a wearable infusion pump that can...
